  • Defining The RNA Therapeutics Industry In 2023

    Four executives outline which industry challenges, strategic considerations, and opportunities should be top of mind as RNA therapeutics companies establish their to-do lists for 2023.

  • ARW's ATMP Manufacturing Must-Reads (2024 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS EDITION!)

    Day-in and day-out, I write, read, listen to, and watch as much content as I can about CGT and RNA therapy manufacturing, in particular, and/or other ATMP industry-related topics that you should at least be aware of in the manufacturing facility. Once a month, I compile the articles and industry updates I think are most worthy of your time into an unconventional newsletter format (below) and send them out via email.

  • The RNA Therapeutics Supply Chain: A Platform of Relationships

    Conversations digging into RNA-specific sourcing considerations have been few and far between. Enter Sanofi's Greg Troiano. Together, we delved into the nuances, challenges, and opportunities for growth that currently exist within the mRNA drug substance and drug product (i.e., mRNA-LNP) raw material sourcing worlds.

  • Addressing Challenges In Serialization For Complex Therapeutics

    The magnitude of serialization, especially for firms with extensive portfolios and intricate supply chains, poses serious challenges. This discussion offers solutions.

  • Biomanufacturing Capacity Crunch: It's The Supply Chain's Fault

    What's behind the protracted biopharma manufacturing capacity crunch, when will it end, and what are manufacturers doing to keep supply on track? During Biotech Week in Boston ad BioProcess International, CDMOs and sponsors weighed in.

  • The Expanding Patent Landscape For RNA-Based Therapeutics

    The COVID-19 pandemic thrust RNA-based therapeutics into the spotlight. Before that, only a handful had received regulatory approval. Why are RNA-based therapeutics seeing more patent activity now and how should biotech companies mitigate patent risks? Attorneys from Neal Gerber Eisenberg share their insights.

Sanofi’s Sumit Luthra shares several of the analytical and manufacturing innovations/improvements he’s watching and waiting for that will improve our knowledge of LNP composition, structure, function, and quality.

We all know that plasmid quality is foundational in dictating the quality of the final mRNA drug substance. In this clip homing in on upstream process considerations, speakers Stu Sundseth (Tune Therapeutics), Marc Wolfgang (Sail Biomedicines), and Christian Dohmen (Ethris) outline some of the most important CQAs for plasmids and the impact they can have on the resulting quality of the mRNA drug substance for linear mRNA. 

Advancing RNA Live panelists Tyler Goodwin and April Sena start off our latest discussion on technology innovations in mRNA production by surveying the current manufacturing process for plasmid production, highlighting where they’ve seen advancements and what biotechs need to consider to obtain plasmids of the appropriate quality for mRNA production.

Here, Advancing RNA Live speakers Khaled Yamout, Sanofi’s Francoise Ribes, and Camp4’s Satya Kuchimanchi share which supply chain advancements they would like to see in the near future, as well as how they anticipate these changes & evolutions could impact each modality’s growth.
